Preparing Teachers for Culturally Diverse Schools: Research and the Overwhelming Presence of Whiteness

Reviewed research studies on preservice teacher preparation for multicultural schools, particularly schools serving historically underserved communities, examining the effects of such strategies as recruiting and selecting students, cross-cultural immersion experiences, multicultural coursework, and program restructuring. Very little research actually examined which strategies prepared strong teachers. Most studies addressed white preservice teachers' attitudes and lack of knowledge. (SM)
